used the f word and got a profanity filter bypass warning.

[Grimmrog_SIG]

So I used the f word and replaced the u with a *. basically filtering the word out myself. This now led to a warning of bypassing the profanity filter

that basically means, I am not supposed to censor any words myself, instead I just fully write them and let the profanity filter do the magic. Right?

Don't self-censor. Use the filtered word instead. People who want to view filtered words turned the filter off as soon as the option became available. People who don't want to see profanity kept the filter on. Just write what you want to write without stars, gaps or whatever else. And follow the rules.

Where is that option?

Edit: never mind, I found it in store preferences.

Doesn't work everywhere unless you specifically change the filters never filtered words though.

The better take-away from this is that you're supposed to be able to word your point without having to resort to profanity. Choose better words, get a dictionary and thesaurus if you need to.

By altering the word and replacing u with * you are bypassing the swear filter and why you received a warning. In the future simply type the word, no alterations, no spaces between the characters and let the filter do it's task. If however you continue to alter the word, the warning would become a ban.

Yes. You are supposed to let the filter do its work.

I am from Sweden and I have turned that filter off... and yet I still see the occasional hearts...

IE I have to manually add stuff to not filter...

The filter function doesn't work...

The world has over 200 official languages, you'd need at least 1 lector for each language involved to create a perfect filter. For the time being, it seems to focus on languages with the most speakers in the world.

Imagine "THAT" is profanity. If you type "THAT" into the forums then it will auto filter it into "****" and you are basically fine.

If you type "TH*T" or "T***" or "TH4T" or "7H47" it bypasses the auto filter, and you will get an infraction for it.

It's kind of silly, but that is just the way it works here.

Talk civilly without using swearwords, like a proper adult. This is a public accessible forums / Sub-Forums that gets googled index with every post.

Who issued the warning? Game hub moderator, game developer or Steam Support?

I always assumed that tthe filter would be TURNED OFF if I set it to be turned off... IE it should not even be applied at all... and yet it still gives me hearts... I want to see the profanity...

The "Community Content Preferences - Chat Filtering" is for the Chat itself but the options below to "ADDITIONAL CUSTOM FILTERED WORDS - Always filter these words/Never filter these words" is global.

Yes that's right, but remember some games/apps/social will have a filter, but you will still get banned from a product you paid for, do not trust any social functionality under the control of anyone but yourself.

The world is becoming a lot more smoke and mirror scumbag tactics, if they can ban you for anything and get another sale they will attempt it.

If you can: avoid forums, in game chat & internal social systems, and look to using controlled external systems for communication. (i know its not possible for some games).

You don't get banned from the game, which is the product paid for, the forum is simply extra.
